Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The synthetic (Alekseev [1]) and, below 353 K, the titration methods were used. A glass device with a magnetic stirrer was filled with 5 to 10 mL of (1) then placed in a thermostat, stirred, and small amounts of the other component added until turbidity appeared. The sample was then heated to above the complete homogeneity temperature, then cooled until turbidity reappeared. Repeat determinations were made. Above 353 K, Alekseev's method was used. Samples, 4-5 g, were sealed in glass, placed in the thermostat, and the solubility temperature determined as above.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Source not specified; purified by fractional distillation; 99.9 mass% purity.
- Source not specified; purified by crystallization; 99.9 mass% purity.
